ABSTRACT
Super hybrid early rice variety Ganxin 203 was used as test material, and four foliar spraying treatments were set using clear water as the control group (CK), and 3 concentrations of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) with 0.1% (P1), 0.3% (P3), 0.5% (P5) and po-tash (MH). The effects of spraying P and K fertilizers on the leaf temperature, yield and physiolo-gical characteristics in double-season early rice under low temperature conditions during panicle primordium differentiation stage were studied. The results showed that during the low temperature period 6:00-18:00, rice leaf temperature under the different treatments with potassium dihydrogen phosphate and potash was higher than that of CK. Leaf chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of rice plants decreased gradually with the treatments under low temperature, while the reduction range was the smallest in treatment P3. The activities of the antioxidative enzymes varied to different extents, and the increase range for the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) in treatment P3 were higher than those in the other treatments. The decrease range of the activity catalase (CAT) in treatment P3 was lower than that in the other treatments. At the end of low temperature treatment, malondialdehyde (MDA) content was the highest in CK. Under low temperature, foliar spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate or potash could improve dry matter accumulation to varying degrees and achieve the purpose of slowing down the yield decrease, among which treatment P3 was the best. It could be found from the yield components that the total grains per panicle, seed setting rate and 1000-grain mass were significantly improved for all treatments compared to CK. The application of foliar spraying of 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate was the most effective agronomic measure to enhance the resistance to low temperature during panicle primordium differentiation stage for double-season super hybrid early rice.

Taking super hybrid rice variety 'Wufengyou T025' as test material, the effects of different irrigation methods and water layer depth on physiological characteristics and yield in double-season late rice under low temperature conditions during heading and flowering stage were investigated. Three treatments were set, i.e., draining during day and containing 4-5 cm water layer during night (H1), draining during day and containing 8-10 cm water layer during night (H2), and containing 8-10 cm water layer day and night (H3), with the 0-1 cm water layer day and night was as the control (CK). The results showed that rice leaf temperature, soil layer temperature and canopy temperature under the different irrigation treatments were higher than that of CK, and the warming effect of treatment H2 was the best during the low temperature period. Leaf chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, leaf stomatal conductance and intercellular CO2 concentration of rice plants decreased gradually under the low temperature, while the smallest reduction occurred in H2. The increase ranges of malondialdehyde and proline content in H2 were lower, while its soluble protein content was the highest compared with other irrigation treatments. The increase ranges for the activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase in H2 were lower, while its decrease range for the activity of catalase was the lowest. Irrigation for heat preservation could increase the yield, and H2 performed best. Yield of H2 at the second sowing date in 2014 and 2015 encountering low temperature increased by 12.9% and 13.5% respectively compared to CK. The yield components including the effective panicle numbers per plant, panicle length, seed setting rate and 1000-grain mass were improved in all irrigation treatments compared to CK. Draining during day and containing 8-10 cm water layer during night (H2) was the most effective agronomic measure to enhance the tolerance to low temperature during heading and flowering stage for double-season hybrid late rice.

This study was aimed to analyze the BP1 binding site sequence upstream of β-globin gene in Chinese Han population, and to investigate polymorphism in the BP1 binding site upstream of β-globin gene, so as to provide the basis for exploration of relation between polymorphisms in the BP1 binding site and β-globin expression. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes of 110 healthy individuals in Chinese Han population. Sequence of the BP1 binding site upstream of β-globin gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction, the polymorphic variation in the BP1 binding site was determined by DNA sequencing. The results indicated that 2 polymorphism loci were found in the BP1 binding site upstream of β-globin gene, they were C/T at the -551 bp region and (AC)(n)(AT)(x)T(y) at the -530 bp region in Chinese Han population. Frequencies of C and T were 60.4% and 39.6% at position -551. Analysis of the (AC)(n)(AT)(x)T(y) polymorphism revealed 9 different genotypes: (AC)(2)(AT)(9)T(5), (AC)(2)(AT)(8)T(5), (AC)(2)(AT)(7)T(7), (AC)(3)(AT)(7)T(5), (AC)(2)(AT)(8)T(9), (AC)(3)(AT)(8)T(5), (AC)(2)(AT)(10)T(3), (AC)(2)(AT)(11)T(3), and (AC)(2)(AT)(7)T(5) at position -530. Frequencies of 9 (AC)(n)(AT)(x)T(y) polymorphisms were 33.2%, 29.1%, 24.1%, 5.4%, 3.2%, 1.8%, 1.4%, 0.9%, and 0.9% respectively. It is concluded that rich (AC)(n)(AT)(x)T(y) polymorphisms at the -530 bp region in the BP1 binding site upstream of β-globin gene are found in Chinese Han population. (AC)(2)(AT)(9)T(5), (AC)(2)(AT)(8)T(5), and (AC)(2)(AT)(7)T(7) are 3 major polymorphisms among Chinese Han population, and (AC)(3)(AT)(8)T(5) is a novel polymorphism at the -530 bp region. More studies should be done to explore relation between (AC)(n)(AT)(x)T(y) polymorphisms and β-globin expression.
